My battery pack is weak and I only can drive the car without frustration if I charged it overnight with a grid-charger. Even with a new battery I'd charge it before the next drive after a longer non-use of the car, let's say one week to keep it healthy and balanced.
If you're battery is nearly empty until you arrive at home it gets charged while you're going downhill next time you drive it, no?
Orelse you could charge it with a solar panel.
